Re: Royals are in first!

Bullpen is well rested, Billy and Gordon are coming around, and they just picked up Willingham today. It seems like everything is falling into place.

Re: Royals are in first!

45 games left, 32 of those are against teams .500 or less. Easiest remaining schedule in the AL. Let's do this.

And they have the easiest schedule of the wild card teams if they fall back behind Detroit. I'm mostly worried about the innings on Duffy and Ventura's arms getting up there and those two losing effectiveness. Yost has done a decent job at keeping the workload on the bullpen down.

I criticize Yost a lot but I have to give credit where credit is due. He's kept the bullpen pretty fresh and has figured out how to use is bullpen for the most part. I'm hoping they can maybe rest Duffy and/or Ventura a start here or there at some point.
